Chelsea holding talks with agent of £80M star about move to Stamford Bridge

CHELSEA are holding talks with the agent of Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran about a move to Stamford Bridge.

He now has 13 goals this term and is seen as one of the best young strikers in the Premier League, and a player that we have been eyeing up since the summer transfer window.

the club have started the season in great fashion and are firmly in the chase for that Premier League title, but despite all their quality in attack, there is still a feeling that Nicolas Jackson is not the man that could bang in 30 goals a season.

Now, we are reportedly in contact with the agent of Jhon Duran, That’s according to Simon Phillips who suggests the board have not given up on the idea of signing the Colombia international. It’s said the club have ‘reached out to a number of agents’ and clubs regarding different striker names.

The uncle of Duran recently opened up and claimed that he is hoping that the striker could earn himself a big time move in the future if he continues to score the goals he has been this season.

Speaking to Gol Caracol, he said: “We are talking about a player who, if he has his feet on the ground, if he lets himself be guided by his advisors, will be very great because he is very young and is not yet mature as an athlete.”

“If his behaviour was not the best, it is normal; you have to let him see it and he will correct it. Having character is different from seeing or believing that others are less than me.”

“Not speaking to people is not character for me, but because I am related to him and have known him since I was a child we believe that we have already achieved everything and since he is young, he may suddenly think that, but I have enormous faith that he is going to correct his behaviour.”

“Jhon Jader is still a 20-year-old boy and there is a lot of room for improvement. When he plays as a starter, he will be among the top scorers in any league he plays in. God gave him virtues that he has to take advantage of and polish, such as his aerial game or getting behind the backs of defenders.
